What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
I was just laid off from my job, effective July 10th. I have a severance contract stating that I'm to be paid 'x' amount of dollars, which represents 12 weeks of pay at the bi-weekly amount I was earning at the time of separation, less all applicable statutory deductions. My wife, who works at the same company, just received a call from a person in HR asking what my current extension was, that they were trying to reach me, and my wife had to inform this person in HR that I had been laid off (in fact, my whole department was laid off) and that I no longer worked at the company. She informed my wife that the company had not been deducting the correct amount of flex money out of my paychecks for the past year, and that they were going to start deducting that outstanding amount out of my severance pay. I'm waiting to hear from them directly. Can they come back a year later, after signing a severance contract, and deduct money they say they neglected to deduct over the past year? I was unaware of any deduction errors until today. Thank you!
